SEMA 2016: Spirit of 147 – The Need for Speed RWB Porsche reborn

The Speedhunters car culture program reached out to me towards the end of September for a livery re-fresh of their Need for Speed Porsche 911 RWB which had been on show previously at SEMA.

SEMA is the largest trade after market car show in the world and takes place every year in Las Vegas in November.Ã‚Â The show is huge so its vital to create something that is a talking point so its remembered.

With the desire of a refresh and timescale our options were extremely limited. Speedhunters wanted to call out reference for the 1965 Monte Carlo Rally classing winning Porsche 911 of Herbert Linge and David Falke which carried the number ‘147’.Ã‚Â While this was Red, the brief called for something Black, more sinister and ‘home-grown’ in appearance but with Rally influence.

Porsche 918 RSR Retro Liveries

Way back in early 2011, I was working on vehicle customisation for Need for Speed The Run. EA had managed to obtain the rights for the Porsche 918 RSR Concept car which had been previewed earlier that year.

Each carÃ‚Â in-game has 2-3 levels of visual progression with a choice of colours at each level. I approached Porsche AG about creating some retro 917 liveries for the 918RSR given their heritage. It took a while but they eventually agreed to the three above, Hippy, Porsche Salzburg and the Pink Pig.
